Given the equation y − 4 = three fourths(x + 8) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form. −three fourthsx + y = 10 3x − 4y = −40 y = three fourthsx + 12 y = three fourthsx + 10

Standard form is Ax+By = C where A, B, and C are whole numbers Some books will force A to be a positive whole number

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

What?!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where are you stuck

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

the whole thing

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Example of an equation in standard form 17x + 12y = 15 it's in the form Ax+By = C where A = 17 B = 12 C = 15

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you have to get the given equation into that form

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

SO would it be B?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

tyvm
